Submucosal tunnel endoscopic resection (STER) is an effective technique for treating esophageal submucosal tumors, but the efficacy and safety of treating esophageal submucosal tumors with internal tr...
Eighty patients who underwent STER for esophageal submucosal tumors were included in the study. They were randomized and assigned to the two groups. The dual-knife method was used for STER. Forty pati...
STER was successful in all cases. Lesion features and demographics were similar between the two groups. In addition, broad exposure of the submucosal tissue was obtained by applying tension to the sel...
This original study showed that esophageal submucosal tumors could be effectively and safely treated with internal traction method-assisted STER, and this technique might be superior to conventional S...
Dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) provides additional risk reduction of ischemic events compared to aspirin monotherapy, at cost of higher bleeding risk. There are few data comparing new techniques for...
This study investigated the effectiveness of the HemCon Dental Dressing (HDD) compared to oxidized cellulose gauze....
This randomized study included 60 patients on DAPT who required at least two dental extractions (120 procedures). Each surgical site was randomized to HDD or oxidized regenerated cellulose gauze as th...
Intra-oral bleeding time was lower in HDD compared with control (2 [2-5] vs. 5 [2-8] minutes, P=0.001). Prolonged postoperative bleeding was observed in 7 cases (11.6%), all of them successfully manag...
In patients on DAPT, HDD resulted in a lower intra-oral bleeding time compared to oxidized cellulose gauze after dental extractions. Moreover, HDD also seems to improve healing conditions....
Melatonin is effective for migraine prevention in adults. We hypothesized that melatonin would also be effective for migraine prevention in children and adolescents....
This was a randomized, double-blind trial of melatonin (3 mg or 6 mg) versus placebo for migraine prevention in 10-17 year-olds with 4-28/28 headache days at baseline. Participants were recruited from...
The study closed early due to slow enrollment (n = 72). Two participants were in the single-blind phase when the study closed, therefore the meaningful n = 70. Sixteen percent (11/70) were lost to fol...
When compared to recall at enrollment, headache days decreased across the single-blind placebo phase and the double-blind phase. There was no suggestion of superiority of melatonin; however, given the...
Ultrasound showed to improve the precision and efficacy of spinal anesthesia (SA) through the identification of specific structures surrounding the intrathecal space, such as the anterior and posterio...
This prospective single-blind observational study involved 100 patients undergoing orthopedic or urological surgery. A first operator chose by landmarks the intervertebral space where he wanted to per...
The ultrasound visualization of only posterior complex or the failure in visualization of both complexes showed a positive predictive value of 76% and 100%, respectively, towards difficult SA vs. 6% w...
Ultrasound showed a high accuracy in detecting difficult spinal anesthesia and its use should be recommended in the daily clinical practice in order to increase success rate and minimize patient disco...
Neurofeedback and transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) are promising techniques for neuroenhancement of attentional performance. As far as we know no study compared both techniques on attent...
Innovation in the training of future physiotherapy professionals through the use of collaborative learning could be an effective method for developing advanced competencies such as professional ethics...
A prospective, assessor-blinded, controlled trial was performed. A 12-week program was carried out with future physiotherapy professionals. The cooperative learning group was based on group activities...
A total of 216 participants completed the study (cooperative group...
Cooperative learning showed a positive impact on developing advanced competencies such as knowledge and perception of knowledge regarding professional ethics. Both methodologies showed adequate result...
Continuous emission monitoring (CM) solutions promise to detect large fugitive methane emissions in natural gas infrastructure sooner than traditional leak surveys, and quantification by CM solutions ...
Although robotic telesurgery is growing in popularity, the benefits of telesurgery compared to local surgery are unclear. This study aimed to evaluate the performance of robotic tele-cholecystectomy w...
Low-volume preparations for colonoscopy are gaining attention for their higher acceptability. However, the efficacy and safety of oral sulfate solution (OSS) preparations in patients with ulcerative c...
A multicenter, randomized, single-blind study was conducted at six tertiary referral hospitals in Korea. Outpatients with UC who had stable disease activity were randomly allocated to the OSS group or...
The OSS and 2-L PEG+Asc groups included 92 and 93 participants, respectively. No significant between-group difference was noted in successful cleansing (OSS [96.7%] vs 2-L PEG+Asc [97.8%], p=0.64). Mo...
OSS is effective for colonoscopy cleansing, has acceptable tolerability, and does not affect disease activity; thus, it can be used safely for bowel preparation in patients with inactive UC....
Given that the consequences of treatment decisions for end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients are long-term and significant, good communication skills are indispensable for health care personnel (HCP...
For this single-center, single-blind study, 91 participants (nephrologists and nephrology nurses) were randomly assigned to two groups, the intervention group (IG) (n = 45) or the control group (CG) (...
IG participants exhibited significantly higher truth-telling confidence at T1 than did CG participants (t = 2.833, P = .006, Cohen's d = 0.59), while there were no significant intergroup differences i...
ESRD CST enhanced short-term truth-telling confidence, though it is unclear whether this was due to CST content or the online delivery. However, during pandemics, when face-to-face training is unsuita...
